The Avid Adventurer

The wardrobe you packed was better suited for a semester of camping than club hopping. Outdoorsy, you might forgo a crazy night out for an early all-day adventure. You'd rather take in the rich culture of an old town than the metropolis of a modern city, but for you getting off the grid is ideal.

This course was one of the most dull things I have ever had to sit through. We would do the assigned reading only to come in the next day to have it repeated to us in lecture. The homework was helpful when it came to ISP

This course was challenging and very fun and engaging, given all of the field trips we went on. The material was a bit broad and I was never sure exactly which pieces were the take aways. This perhaps contributed to our class doing horribly on the final exam-it was too long for the allotted time and almost impossible to study for. This was an extremely inaccurate measure of my learning.
